On June 19, 1865, two years after President Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation became official, enslaved people in Galveston, Texas were told they were free. Since the mid-nineteenth century, black communities across the nation have celebrated their culture, freedom, and accomplishments with a festive fete—Juneteenth. To keep the tradition, I host an annual feast with green tomatoes making the menu.
Note:
Boost the flavor with a dollop of basil goat cheese. Mix together 4 ounces goat cheese or chevre and 3 shredded fresh basil leaves. Finish with a small pinch of black pepper. Top a few tomatoes with the mixture.
